Legacy of Jazz: Devine and Dexterous

Celebrating the Music of Sarah Vaughan & Dexter Gordon showcases the music of two jazz legends through the extraordinary talents of saxophonist and vocalist Camille Thurman. Praised by DownBeat as “Imagine if Sarah Vaughan played saxophone like Dexter Gordon,” Thurman is a Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition finalist, a two-time ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award recipient, and the first woman to tour full-time with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Joined by The Christian Tamburr Trio, she seamlessly blends vocals and tenor saxophone in a performance of swinging classics, heartfelt ballads, and inventive improvisation, honoring Vaughan and Gordon while bringing their timeless music to life for today’s audiences.
